Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of ###. We lift up this prayer request regarding celibacy and the desire for a husband. Lord, we acknowledge that you are the giver of every good and perfect gift, and that includes the desires of our hearts. Your Word tells us in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Father, if celibacy is indeed important to you, we ask that you would grant ### a new heart and a renewed desire for it. Help ### to find joy and fulfillment in serving you wholeheartedly in this season of singleness. Give ### the strength to resist the temptations of the world and to remain faithful to your calling.
Furthermore, Lord, we ask that you would also grant ### the desire for a godly husband, if it aligns with your perfect will. Your Word says in Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." We pray that you would bring the right person into ###'s life at the appointed time, someone who will love and honor you, and who will be a true companion and helpmate.
Father, we trust in your perfect timing and your wisdom. We surrender these desires to you, knowing that you have a plan and purpose for ###'s life. Help ### to seek you above all else and to trust in your provision.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
